I will never understand people who enjoy really, really spicy food. Nothing above like 100k scoville should exist. If the spiciness is more than "i feel the warmth in my mouth for a few minutes" and you say you "like it" you're a flagellant weirdo
Sure, but I also struggle to understand people who purchase items that say "VERY SPICY" eat the items and experience that they are very spicy, finish the dish, get an upset tummy and then go "The government should make this illegal, I am at no fault here."
I would kind of understand making those artificial 100k ones illegal, but when you're also just going after the regular one? Wack. Like the 3x one is way too much for me, but I don't think it should be illegal to sell.
but also none of these ramens are 100k scoville. (though people say their perceived spice level is higher than the scoville rating would suggest. maybe because its a large quantity of broth, or because its oily and coats the tongue?)
I definitely go back and forth, some stuff just causes straight pain and I don't like it, but some stuff is really tasty and I will push through to finish it, and then the endorphins after are pretty nice too. There's also some hot sauces that are like, on the edge of being too spicy to use normally but really great when mixed in to a dish. I had one that could give an entire batch of (shitty boxed) mac and cheese a nice, smoky, spicy flavor with like a teaspoon
